Re: GRIZZ’s English 2001 S10 Extra Cab 4.3 V6 Truck

Always said I was not going to do this job.

Getting it done by a refurbishment specialist would be £300.00 or more.

But 5 plus hours of therapy, cleaning, prepping, masking repeatedly, followed by two cans of a louder Gold than was on there, and two large cans of Satin Black to cover the rear inside bands and front hub faces, re-inflating, detailing the axle hubs and drums in black made me very happy, despite the very hot day out there.

Rears cleaned, prepped and painted.



Front side masked.



Painted



Before and after.

Both Golds done.



Black centres prepped, masked



And a pic of them before and after paint.







So different from where I started.

Front



Low-ish.




Closed shop, showered by 3.30 as too hot really to have fun.

Cold Beer time I think.
